Marion McCleneghan, 40, was last seen leaving a party in Brooklyn at about 2 a.m. on February 6. She lives only a few blocks away, but she apparently never made it home. No one's heard from her since.
Friends and family say she was smart, well-spoken and happy that she'd just gotten a new job. And though she'd recently separated from her husband, Ben Sodo, they remained friendly and kept in daily contact. He doesn't seem to be a suspect. Bu ther husband became alarmed when his calls began going straight to voicemail.
She wasn't the kind to disappear on her own. So her husband and family have been leafletting their Park Slope neighborhood in hopes that someone has information on Marion's disappearance.
She's described as 5-foot-10, 150 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

If you're wife or girlfriend is missing, and you truly care about her safety, the last thing you're going to do it get a lawyer, the only profession that treats duplicity as a workplace attribute.
Witnesses say Marion had a loud fight with boyfriend Richard Sosa before she left a party at his house around 2 a.m. She lives only eight doors away from his place.
Police say Sosa was originally cooperative, though he had a scratch on his face. But when they asked him to take a polygraph, he promptly lawyered up.
Friends are certain Marion didn't leave on her own. Her estranged husband, Benjamin Soto, says she just got a new job at a medical marketing firm and that she left her wallet on the kitchen table. He also says her laptops and journals were gone.
UPDATE: They mystery of Marion McCleneghan's disappearance just gets more foggy.
Mike Haden, owner of La Dolce Vita deli, says he saw Marion the night after she went missing after a fight with her boyfriend. She was in tears and told him he wouldn't be seeing her any more and that she was going to Long Island.
Her mom says Marion and her boyfriend, Richard Sosa, were in the process of breaking up. She was also getting treatment for an anxiety disorder, and her two aunts and her father had died in the past year, which may have combined into some form of inner trauma.
But it remains to be seen if she left by her own will. She left cigarettes and money at her apartment, and she hasn't used her phone since. She's also been described as extremely smart and mom says that medication had subdued her anxiety.
The only person she reportedly knows on Long Island is her brother, and he hasn't heard a word from her.
